[And she can get away with it, because Gilbert is too distracted and frozen in terror by this cat. Why is it following them.]

[velveteened]

( THANKS A LOT GIL.

oz is meanwhile kicked to the ground. ah, how nostalgic. he actually did miss this. )

— sorry!

[bunnivore]

[ she pushes her hair back, seemly satisfied that she can at least still kick oz down. an implied 'good' isn't said though, because she just kinda... sits herself down next to him. gilbert's hardships are completely ignored. ]

Now let's go stuff ourselves. You're tired too right?

[ because tired = hungry. ]

[retraced]

[Still shaking and crying in the corner.]

[velveteened]

( he pushes himself up onto his elbows, and finds himself laughing at that suggestion. it's so — perfectly alice, enough to make the homesickness rise back up if she weren't right here next to him. )

It's good to see you, Alice.

( wait that doesn't answer the question at all. )

[bunnivore]

Don't make me wait so long next time.

[ stupid, man-servant!

but she let's it slide, only because she knows he will feed her. that, and he hasn't seen her in a while. she was right, nothing has changed and she was grateful for it. ]

[retraced]

[Continue your happy reunion while Gilbert picks himself back up and dusts his jacket off, eyes pointed towards the direction that the cat has traveled to make certain that it hasn't turned back around. He's not going to be taken by surprise again!]

[velveteened]

I'm sorry. I won't let it happen again.

( and gil might hear a tell-tale whirring noise if he's listening carefully... )

[bunnivore]

[ yup, that's definitely a whirring noise... heh. ]

Good. Now, c'mon Seaweed Head. Lead the way!

[ ignoring his trauma and everything. ]

[retraced]

--D-did you hear that?!

[He's not sure which way to lead because he can't pinpoint where that sound is coming from. He's sure it's bringing his death along with it, however.]

[velveteened]

Gil.

( exasperated, in that lead-the-way-before-i-kick-you-or-threaten-to-go-somewhere-dangerous-alone-instead tone of voice he has. )

[bunnivore]

[ yeah! people are waiting here. she just glares up at gilbert. ]

[retraced]

What-?!

[Did you or did you not just see the cat that rolled by a second ago?! But he does recognize that tone, and the last thing he needs now is to be chasing Oz around. Knowing him, he'll run directly for the cat just to annoy his useless servant.

Gilbert clears his throat and gestures for them both to follow.]

We can stay in my room for now.

[velveteened]

( that is pretty much exactly what he was planning, so good job gil. )

Are all of the rooms safe?

( presumes so from being dropped off around here, but it's good to confirm. )

[bunnivore]

[ she doesn't say anything, following along and letting them talk about the important things. she can just listen. ]

[retraced]

Safer than anywhere else.

[He puts out his arm and gestures for them to stop while he checks around a corner, but seeing the hallway clear, nods an affirmation for them both to follow.]

[velveteened]

( pauses and follows accordingly, digesting that. were anyone they know in a position to be worried about, he imagines gil would mention or insist on going back out there. and now that there's no active threat — )

Just what happened?

[bunnivore]

[ she perks up, trying to see if she'll get any information since she's seriously behind on all this. understanding that she is behind on so many things due to her late arrival is aggravating, but for now she can only do so much. what matters is that they're together now. like she had told gilbert, all they have to do is move forward. she can get any answers she wants out of them later. ]

[retraced]

They finally opened the agriculture wing.

[Oz probably remembers the work being done on it before he'd left.]

But after they'd opened it, they found...those things inside of it.

[velveteened]

— ah.

( that and a slight intake of breath perhaps to go on, except that he doesn't; scarcely five minutes of reuniting with alice and he remembers why he hates the moon so much, this space that sounds too much like abyss. )

[bunnivore]

[ his reaction causes her to glance in his direction, and she now opens her mouth to interrupt the conversation because she didn't like the atmosphere at all. ]

Oz. [ what do you even when there are zombies luring around. ] Are you okay?

[retraced]

[He glances back at Oz, just to look at his face and try to read that expression while waiting for his answer.]

[velveteened]

( wrong time, wrong place, and he doesn't miss a beat — )

I'm fine, Alice. If you've just got here recently, does that mean you haven't seen the cafeteria yet?

( deflection time. )

[bunnivore]

[ a long stare. she's thought a lot about food today, but it wouldn't be at this moment. ]

If it's about food then it is Seaweeds's job to feed me. And I don't really get it but... the zombies have to go away! If anything, they're my prey and I'll get rid of them, so you should thank me.

[retraced]

[He frowns at Oz, but then scowls at Alice.]

Don't volunteer people for things that they haven't agreed to yet!

[Even though he already knows that he'll end up feeding her every day.]
